Classing NP Camping

This is a remote campground close to Santa Elena Canyon. There is a very small store next the the nearby visitors center with a small selection of drinks, snacks and food plus a microwave. The campground had lots of birdwatchers! Some areas were flooded due to irrigation. This campground only has out toilets, fyi! You can’t beat the location though!!
